Signs saying "1535 Days Since Last S.F. 'Dark Star.' "

I just read the NRA opened or will be opening a museum somewhere in Midwest ---- I think they should dedicate it to President Obama - their greatest fundraiser. found the story - it will be in KC http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/03/us-usa-guns-museum-idUSBRE97207920130803

I wonder how they came up with that figure - 2.5 ounces every two weeks - that is a lot of smoke. My mother and father who are both in their 70's and dealt with cancer and its treatment, are all for this - and she hates hippies (with the exception of me and a few of my friends, of course) --- so it seems if my p's supports this, the whole entire country should ---- I am proud of Illinois, though it's about time this measure passed.

I am not too familiar with Reeves, I do have Cure boot DVD from from a festival they did last year and he played with them --- he definitely did not reel himself in too much at Lolla - he was pretty much all over the place (in a good way) --- the show was perfectly mixed, too (at least from where I was standing - right next to the soundboard). He fit right in --- definitely a lot more 'shredding' then I expected to see at a Cure show. Below is the complete Lolla show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Ioppd81mY

Just having seeing The Cure this past weekend at Lolla (for the 1st time), I'd put them in the top 50. Great solid show. I would love to see Reeves Gabrel play with Nels Cline, someday. Smith still has a great voice and the rest of are solid as ever.

See - I'm the opposite, married with a 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 year old at home (happily, though) - at times I welcome anything that gets me out of the house for a bit. I still haven't had a chance to listen to the latest pick - but listened to the boot/show plenty of times and always enjoyed it.

I am not sure how many times I would watch the film again - the actual concert footage was great - the filler, if you will, not so much. If they release an audio only, I will get that. Who knows, if they come out with Blue-ray only release, I might get that, too, but I don't need the whole set. I wonder if the essay by Johnny Dwork is going to be the same one in the Taper Book, I assuming Johnny Dwork and John Dwork are the same. Regarding the 12.50, I thought that price was fine --- I treated it as a bit of an event - plus it was playing in theater that I knew had great sound and screen

Yeah I saw that - St. Stephen would be cool to hear --- it's no These Boots are Made for Walking, though.

Good to be back ---- Saw Sunshine Daydream last week at the theater, very good stuff, plus I ran into an old friend who I haven't saw in over 20 years; he reminded me that I took him to his first Dead show. The sound and footage was great. That being all said, probably will pass on the release, little too expensive. Plus, I did get the latest Dave's pick, but I haven't had a chance to listen it.

Goddammit, one of these times I gonna remember a TRI stream - Warren played the Wolf tonight, i guess. Ole Gary Lambert was on bass, too. Tonight, I happen to watch a DVD of the 10/20/89 show at the Spectrum - Jerry was playing the Wolf.

Don't forget the below site, too. http://sooutoftune.org/

late 73, right?? Below is a nice write up on the last tour with Keith and Donna by Blair Jackson http://www.dead.net/features/blair-jackson/blairs-golden-road-blog-keith-and-donnas-last-days-dead

The movie came out last year - out on DVD on 8/6/13. I usually re-read the book every 10 years or so. I tried getting through the scroll edition a few years back, but put it down for some reason. I did see the original scroll when it passed through Chicago a few years back - it was cool to see.

Never seen that before ---- dick! (just kidding)

I never had problem with Donna - sure she was off from time to time, but it was never a major distraction (if I am listening to a show with the wife, she makes me fast forward through her bit during Playin lot's of time or I have I listen to even more wailing).

Just finished watching a JJ Cale doc. - he refused to go on American Bandstand or some other Dick Clark show in the 70s, because they asked him to lip sync --- he said he was a musician not an actor....his record was on the verge of hitting top ten - it fell off the next week.

Must admit Beck, on harp, is a bit of a distraction - thanks for posting.

Just listened to The Road to Escondido last week --- great song writer and player. Anyway the Wind Blows: The Anthology is a great comp. Below is a documentary. ( I never seen it before) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-9x6dRPzgM&feature=player_embedded

Well sometimes Tweedy looks/looked pretty smelly...who wears a jean jacket when it's 95 degrees --- I agree, Dylan's band always looks keen.

I got no beef with DMB --- wish them best.

Think I would have made choice, too.

I just think they pulled the trigger too soon - it happens a bit. I sure Dead.Net wants to be the first and they are waiting for after the showing.

I think you may be right --- you can add, they sell more records, merchandise, etc.... plus chicks seem to dig Mathews much more so than Tweedy.

No doubt.

Not to mention that DMB makes shit ton more money on the road then Wilco (very sad to say).
